| Adipokines | MP, n= 27 | UCP, n = 23 |
|---|---|---|
| ng/mL | ng/mL | |
| Leptin | 22.62 ± 4.15 | 8.08 ± 1.10 * |
| Adiponectin | 13,456.27 ± 824.93 | 29,938.34 ± 3101.71 * |
| L/A ratio | 1.85 × 10−3 ± 3.82 × 10−4 | 3.31 × 10−4 ± 5.95 × 10−5 * |
Data shown are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. Mann–Whitney U test was used to determine significant differences between plasma samples. * p < 0.05. MP, maternal plasma; UCP, umbilical cord plasma. L/A ratio, Leptin/Adiponectin ratio.
